The Internationale
Back in Groningen again. This is a great town - beautiful European streets, made better by some especially clement weather, chilled out Dutch atmosphere, a cool venue that I've visited before... Tour is sweet. Germany was, as ever, a total blast. Brussels, Eindhoven and Utrecht were all too kind. This run is coming to a close pretty soon, but the road rolls ever onwards (towards the sunshine of the West Coast of the USA, so no complaints!). Incidentally, the San Francisco and Vancouver shows are selling tickets like crazy, so if you want to come along I'd advise getting them sooner rather than later.
Speaking of the USA, I am very pleased to confirm that I will be appearing (solo) at this year's Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN, on Thursday June 10th 2010. I'm new to US festivals, so this is exciting for me.
Finally, to round off an update replete with internationalism, I'm very excited to announce that I will be playing a show at Rock School in Hong Kong on May 7th. After that I have a string of shows in Mainland China. This is really virgin territory for me, and I'm simultaneously expectant, intrigued and a little nervous. I'll be keeping a full tour diary for the trip.

Welcome back to Groningen Frank! Can't wait to see you play tonight!
Loved your show in Utrecht :) Nice tracklist, too. Hope you visit the Netherlands again on your next Euro-tour!
Wow best of luck with the tour, maybe put Canada on your list one day? Would be so thrilled to have you!! :)
Frank! I'm in Taiwan trying to get you some fans here. I am looking forward to seeing you in Hong Kong, but don't know how to get tickets. Could you put an idiot-proof link up sometime soon?
bonnaroo is a great fest! i've attended twice but sadly can't be there this year. America Loves you.
Give 'em Hell Frank!
So looking forward to seeing you at leeds fest :D

The Eindhoven and Utrecht shows were amazing!
Last night's show in Utrecht was awesome! Had a blast.
Just came back from the show at Vera, Groningen. One word: great!
China will love you just like the rest of us!
Coming back to Central Florida would be lovely and yes, Sharon is correct, Jersey too!
I lived in Nanjing for a while, will be heading back there for a bit this summer would be great to catch you out there. Sure we could round you up some 中国人 fans to a gig :)
When/where can we get details of where the tours going and when?
frank turner shows in china!! that's crazy and awesome. wish I could be there to see that
Going to see you in Hong Kong definitely! Flight plans have to be made soon.
Lovely show at Vera last night, Frank --- thanks to you & the band for a great evening!
excellent show in vera last night!!! you were on top form, as was your great band. Sweet set list though i did miss Worse Things Happen At Sea, i remember a ferocious rendition in Huis De Beurs (Eurosonic). Been quite a while since I had this much fun at a gig!! You da Man
Don't worry. Your corporate backers will make sure you are safe in China.
Hong Kong? It will just be like playing to your posh mates back in Winchester (plus a few locals)
Great show in Utrecht. Lots of energy especially in the last song Photosynthesis.

Can't wait to see you at Reading and 2000 Trees, you gigs are always phenomenal and i'm sure these won't be different!
I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw that you're playing a festival in my town, on my birthday. Then I noticed the letters 'TN'. Goddamn Tennessee.
